I don't understand how some people are saying it was an over billing issue and its OK because they self reported.
What?
They get audited by the government. They probably self-reported because they knew they were going to get found out in an audit.
These Medicare Advantage Plan companies know full well what the rules and regulations are. They have legal teams, internal compliance officers, and they have to be trained and qualified to hold those positions.
No pass should be given to people who perpetrated this fraud against the American taxpayers. They need to be arrested, charged, convicted, fined, imprisoned, and then banned from ever working in the healthcare industry again.
But no way that will happen. Someone up top will make a political "donation", and all of this will be swept away with no one being held accountable.
